Chapter 17: Fierce Blowing Fire Palm, One Year

Xiao Xian naturally knew Xiao Wu's background.

Her First Soul Technique, called Waist Bow, can instantly boost her own waist strength by one hundred percent and increase resilience by fifty percent.

For a Rabbit Martial Soul.

Strengthen waist power, then use a soft technique.

Then she can easily fling the opponent away forcefully.

One could even say.

As long as Xiao Wu gets close, even a Strong Attack-type Soul Master whose soul power is ten levels higher than hers.

It is still hard for them to control their body under this soul skill.

A moment of carelessness and their bones will be broken.

But to Xiao Xian, this soul skill seemed a bit odd.

If the opponent is human, you just fling them away.

But if it's a Soul Beast…

What use is this soul skill?

Soul Beasts come in all sorts of bizarre sizes.

Some are as massive as mountains, others as tiny as dust.

Some are covered in spines, others have skin that is highly poisonous.

Close combat, fling away?

Probably, even if you want to fling them away, you don't know how to start or where to apply force.

"But what does this have to do with me?"

Xiao Xian shook his head inwardly, thinking perhaps the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast has its own whimsical ideas.

He watched Xiao Wu, who was rapidly approaching, still seeming to want to counterattack.

He raised his left hand and gave a light slap.

Boom—!

A violent Gale suddenly erupted.

"Wuh!"

Caught off guard, Xiao Wu's small face was hit by a Level 10 Gale, her skin and flesh instantly trembling and distorting.

Her nose, eyes, and mouth were all blasted with a gust of cold wind!

Her mind went blank in an instant.

Her upper body, under the Gale's thrust, fell straight backward.

Xiao Xian released Xiao Wu's braid, and his right leg swept across her heel.

She fell even faster, crashing hard onto the ground!

The scene looked rather unsightly.

"Wuh—! You…! Cough cough… vomit!"

Xiao Wu lay half on the ground, battered to bits. The cold wind streamed into her eyes, making them water uncontrollably; she couldn't open them. Her nasal passage burned, and snot nearly flew out. Her throat ached, the cold wind almost back‑flowed into her stomach, causing her to cough and vomit.

She hadn't expected Xiao Xian's soul skill to be so bizarre and low‑blow, sneaking a surprise attack while she was inattentive!

"Sister Xiao Wu…"

The group of part‑time students exchanged bewildered looks, their faces showing surprise.

Just now, Sister Xiao Wu had unleashed her power, beating more than twenty senior trainees with nowhere to run.

And then she collapsed at the first sight?

"Wuh! Boss Xiao! Boss Xiao!" The senior trainees were also a bit surprised, but the next second, they all instantly cheered.

They knew how could Boss Xiao possibly lose?

Tang San, hidden among the seniors, had a flash of violet in his eyes and looked somewhat surprised.

Palm unleashed a Gale.

Its power didn't seem small.

It could even be called a Sky‑splitting Palm!

What a mysterious soul skill is this?

Xiao Xian had no intention of pressing the advantage.

"You lost," he said calmly, stepping back two paces.

Xiao Xian felt a bit disappointed.

He had also planned to demonstrate the differences between Suction Palm and Control Crane Capture Dragon.

He hadn't even used the combo of Suction Palm and Blowing Fire Palm.

Xiao Wu fell like that.

It seems he'll have to show it later when training with Tang San.

Anyway, the teacher said Tang San was temporarily handed over to him.

"……"

After a long while.

Xiao Wu finally got up.

"Since you lost, from now on you may not lay too heavy a hand on the academy's classmates."

"At least, their heads must not swell into pig heads."

Xiao Xian hoped this violent Rabbit Martial Soul would tone down a bit.

His words had just finished.

"Ah...!"

Xiao Chenyu and the other senior trainees, whose faces had been excited and triumphant, all vanished in an instant, and they let out a miserable sound.

Xiao Xian actually didn't intend to deal with them!

Then wouldn't that mean we couldn't bully the part‑time students anymore, and we'd get beaten up?!

None of them could match Xiao Wu.

"Junior brother, let's go."

Xiao Xian waved at Tang San, then turned and left.

He was too lazy to bother with their childish make‑believe nonsense.

He didn't even have enough time for his own cultivation.

Tang San stepped out of the crowd, gave Xiao Wu and Wang Sheng an apologetic, awkward smile, and hurried to catch up with Xiao Xian.

"…"

After returning to the Academy, Xiao Xian bought lunch for Master and then began cultivating in the Master Dormitory, unwilling to waste time.

Tang San found time to visit Qi She, gave an explanation, and then returned to the Master Dormitory to look after him.

Xiao Xian then learned that, after he left, Xiao Wu, in a fit of anger, almost beat Xiao Chenyu and the others.

Xiao Chenyu and the others were all numb.

They definitely couldn't win a fight.

It was all about background.

Just look at that Hundred-Year Soul Ring.

He's the son of a city lord, and his First Soul Ring is only ten years old.

With no other choice, they had to accept Xiao Wu as the Boss.

Xiao Wu thus became the big sister‑leader of their group.

Even the part‑time student job was no longer needed.

Tang San saved so much time that, delighted, he handed each of Xiao Wu's roommates a Sugarcane.

No charge.

The other roommates all said it was good after eating.

Only Xiao Wu, in a hurry, ran to the Spirit Hall.

Afterwards.

Xiao Xian and Tang San cared for Master for over two months before Master barely recovered.

And that was while Master kept gnawing on Tang San's Sugarcane whenever he was idle.

It can only be said that this injury was indeed rather serious.

Their earlier assumption was still too optimistic.

After all, the potent toxin had entered the body for too long, in too great a quantity, and many parts were bitten.

Master didn't die on the spot, thanks to Tang San's superb and timely handling.

Tang San lives a very regular life at the Academy.

At dawn, on the dormitory roof, he cultivates Purple Extreme Demon Eye.

Morning: classes.

Afternoon: forging.

Especially after Master recovered, he often went to the smithy to forge, specifically using the Chaotic Cloak hammer technique to work the Iron Material.

The Iron Material forged with Chaotic Cloak is of excellent quality.

The ironware from Shi San's smithy has all risen a grade in quality.

Delighted, Shi San immediately offered Tang San a high salary of five Silver Soul Coins.

At night, he returns to cultivate Xuan Tian Gong.

Xiao Xian's life is also very regular.

At dawn, he placed Xiao Jue on the dormitory roof to let it secretly learn Purple Extreme Demon Eye. Tang San was pleased to have a companion. He also realized, for the first time, that his senior brother's martial soul could be cultivated—truly amazing.

In the morning, Xiao Xian even skipped many Academy classes, choosing to cultivate in the dormitory.

Afternoon was also cultivation, or perhaps gnawing a few of Tang San's Sugarcane to strengthen the body.

He certainly didn't skimp on looking after Tang San's business.

At his place, he forged many heavy ironwares.

He also secretly studied Chaotic Cloak a bit, kicked away Tang San's bellows while forging, and displayed a move of Blowing Fire Palm.

The Gale of Blowing Fire Palm is far more useful than a bellows.

The fire burns brightly.

With the Iron Material at the right temperature, Tang San's Chaotic Cloak strikes became even more vigorous.

At night, he secretly studied Xuan Tian Gong Second Layer.

Under these circumstances, his soul power progressed rapidly, advancing several grades beyond before.

Master was stunned.

But seeing Xiao Xian's diligent cultivation, even with Xiao Jue as a cheat device,

He felt much more at ease.

Then came excitement.

He thought his luck was truly outstanding.

Can take in these two disciples with such unparalleled talent.

Aside from that.

It's simply that Tang San was truly eye‑greedy for the Blowing Fire Palm.

He possesses Control Crane Capture Dragon and can also generate suction and pulling force.

But whether suction or pulling force, they both seem less powerful than Xiao Xian's Suction Palm and Blowing Fire Palm.

Xiao Xian knows this inside and out.

His Suction Palm and Blowing Fire Palm are founded on his First Soul Technique, the Sunlight Spore that amplifies soul power activity…

He generously taught Tang San his Self-Created Soul Technique, then supplied him with many Water Sacs brimming with Sunlight Spores.

Tang San was elated.

But the cost is that almost every minute and second, Sunlight Spores circulate within his body…

Even now, he can no longer be entirely without Xiao Xian's Sunlight Spores.

Meanwhile, Tang San, drawing on his own insight, refined the Blowing Fire Palm and Suction Palm.

Xiao Xian found this extremely useful.

It goes without saying that Xiao Xian trains daily.

Tang San's body is saturated with Sunlight Spores, and Xiao Xian perceives them with ease and clarity.

Ghost Shadow Maze, Control Crane Capture Dragon, Purple Extreme Demon Eye, and Xuan Yu Hand…

They are truly enticing.

Especially the Xuan Yu Hand…

Xiao Xian's hand meridians have grown far stronger, and consequently the power of his Suction Palm and Blowing Fire Palm has risen several notches.

Just like that, in the blink of an eye, a year passed.
